Edited by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano, Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Young Boy’s Magic Horn) is a collection of love, wandering, soldier’s and children’s songs, which served as an important source of idealized folklore in the Romantic nationalism of the 19th century.
This concert will feature voice students from the NAFA School of Music, presenting selections from this poem collection composed into songs by such composers as Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn, and Richard Strauss.
